Everyone has been hooked to its undeniable fun in the virtual planting world. The game caters to all ages, whether a child or an adult will surely enjoy the game for it is very simple to play and there are many surprises along the way.
If you haven't tried the game though, you will really need a helping hand to make you go faster and be on the lead with your friends. So here you are Farmville newbie, this is all yours to read.
The Farmville game is actually a virtual planting world where you earn money through planting and selling crops. The game offers you a lot of crops to choose from depending on how much money or how much you can afford to buy. Different plant will give you different level of yields and different experience points as well. The higher the experience points you get the more level you can go. So how to achieve a high experience points? You just simply plant and plant. That is how your experience grows. Moreover, you can also build your farm in a way you want. Structures are also available in the market to accessorize your farm. I will give you a hint as well. There is also a fast and cheap way of gaining experience. This is through planting hay and selling it. Rather than spend $100,000 on a windmill or any other structure for 1,000 exp, just buy hay and sell it right back. Each costs 100 (5 coins back when you sell) and they give you 5 exp. So you could get that 1,000 exp for only 19,000, not 100,000. It is the most effective way of pulling high your experience without losing much money on your Farmville cash.
Moreover, the plants are the life of the farm. The plants also vary. There are flowering plants, fruit trees, and fruit bearing vines. Each one of these plants costs differently, and thus to earn money, you need to choose the plant which will give you more money in a less expensive way.
Experience points will also be availed from crops. Raspberries don't give any XP to plant, however you get 1XP for plowing. In 4 hours you plow twice and earn 2XP, which matches the 1 XP planting 1XP plowing of the other berry types.
All other 3 berry types give 12 XP per day per patch if you can keep up with them: blueberries, raspberries, strawberries in order of preference based on coins. Other plants like the pumpkins gives 6, rice is 4, sunflowers, peppers, and soybeans are 3, and the multi-day stuff is lower.
Blueberries are also the 2nd highest cash crop among the plants, beaten only by sunflowers (with 25% of the XP). There is no reason to plant anything but blueberries (to max XP) or sunflowers (to max cash) unless you want to make your farm look pretty, or need to take some time off.
If you don't have blueberries and sunflowers, then raspberries are the best all around using peppers if you can't be on every 2 hours to gain more XP and fast cash.
Expanding your farm will help a lot in gaining more experience points and to have more money. The more space you have, the more plants you can plant and thus the more money you will get from your harvest.
Those are just a few of the Farmville guide for the newbie. Try it on and experience levelling up in no time at all.
